It’s official, the Montreal Canadiens will be facing the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup Final.
Although I was hoping to see them face the New York Islanders, the defending champions did not make it easy for them.
The Canadiens are huge underdogs in this series (now even bigger underdogs as when they reached the playoffs), and that is a storyline of its own.
